That may be where it makes sense to do a custom clock showing on the wall counting not minutes but the cumulative cost of the meeting. For simplicity assume everyone is making $1/minute, so a 5 person half hour meeting costs $150 just for the people in the meeting without even factoring in whether it's delaying the project.
Also, "perfection is the enemy of good" (or complete).
- kurtisc 9y agoUnfortunately, ironically, that sounds like a clock that would take a long time to make.
- fencepost 9y agoI'm willing to cheat. A search on Google Play Store for "meeting cost clock" comes up with several, though the best looking from the screenshots appears to be the $1.99 Meeting Cents with almost no downloads and no updates since 2014. Several others are ad supported or low cost. Frankly it'd cost more in (billable?) time to test and select one than to buy all of them. A very simple browser based implementation is at https://www.mcgurrin.info/clock.htm https://www.mcgurrin.info/clock.htm and another is at https://tobytripp.github.io/meeting-ticker/ https://tobytripp.github.io/meeting-ticker/
